You reminded me of someone I knew

And first I saw you as his shadow.

But your eyes were more a perfect blue,

More caring than his teasing stare.

Back then my heart was full and pure

And nothing was really important

Except the fact that I was sure

My heart was full because of him.

Until that fateful day of sadness

I said my heart had become his.

All of that warped into madness,

One angry kiss to say goodbye.

So from the anger, darkness grew.

That full heart I had had was empty.

And after time I slowly knew

To him, I was a Nobody.

What could have been a happy day

Went by without a second thought.

A million more like it, 'til once in May

I felt my heart fill up again.

They say it's all some stupid notion,

A nothing hasn't "depth" to feel.

But since my thoughts were set in motion

I ignored those heartless men in black.

When you left to find yourself,

Or, some would say, the boy you came from,

This new found heart, like broken glass felt,

Until finally my sense bled dry.

I would fade away if you had faded too,

Knowing at least I wouldn't be alone.

And if you loved me back, I knew,

To me, you'd never be a Nobody.
